The Dictatorship of Dresdania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Seceski Churnski with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.447 billion Dresdans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steinschäfer. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.1%.

The Dresdanian economy, worth 66.6 trillion Dresda Marks a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,031 Dresda Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, loan operators are losing interest due to lost interest, rotary phones are considered cutting-edge technology, and the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dresdania's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Athiesm.

Dresdania is ranked 224,352^nd in the world and 1,715^th in the West Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.92 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
